"Refugees/immigrants bring in $63 BILLION more than they cost". King don never gives you the whole elephant. Only the tail/tusk. WHY?

I heard that but did not verify the amount so I do not know whether faux or true. Whatever the true figure is King don never gives you more than crumbs and even then he is chintzy with them.   :(

    They cost over $100B a year.  And they send a large chunk if the money they make here illegally back to their home country.

    I wonder when he's going to talk about how he has personally profited from using illegal immigrants as laborers?

    He hired a General Contractor to do the work....it is the responsibility of that GC to verify that their employees are all legal workers.

    Of course he did. https://time.com/4465744/donald-trump-undocumented-workers/

    Senator Marco Rubio raised the issue of undocumented Polish workers during a Republican primary debate this year, Trump described himself as removed from the problem. "I hire a contractor. The contractor then hires the subcontractor," he said. "They have people. I don't know. I don't remember, that was so many years ago, 35 years ago."

    But thousands of pages of documents from the case, including reams of testimony and sworn depositions reviewed by TIME, tell a different story. Kept for more than a decade in 13 boxes in a federal judiciary storage unit in Missouri, the documents contain testimony that Trump sought out the Polish workers when he saw them on another job, instigated the creation of the company that paid them and negotiated the hours they would work. The papers contain testimony that Trump repeatedly toured the site where the men were working, directly addressed them about pay problems and even promised to pay them himself, which he eventually did.
